Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tam-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

TAM Builder

Build and maintain a scored Total Addressable Market. Uses Apollo Company Search to discover companies, scores ICP fit (0-100), assigns tiers (1/2/3), and auto-builds a persona watchlist for Tier 1-2 companies using Apollo People Search (free).

Three modes:

  • build — First-time TAM construction from Apollo search
  • refresh — Update existing TAM: re-score, detect tier changes, deprecate stale companies
  • status — Read-only report of current TAM state

Prerequisites

Apollo API Key

Add to .env:

APOLLO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

That's it — one env var.

Config Format

Create a JSON config per client/segment:

{
  "client_name": "happy-robot",
  "tam_config_name": "voice-ai-midmarket",

  "company_filters": {
    "organization_num_employees_ranges": ["51,200", "201,500", "501,1000"],
    "q_organization_keyword_tags": ["call center", "contact center"],
    "organization_locations": ["United States"]
  },

  "scoring": {
    "weights": {
      "employee_count_fit": 30,
      "industry_fit": 25,
      "funding_stage_fit": 20,
      "geo_fit": 15,
      "keyword_match": 10
    },
    "tier_thresholds": { "tier_1_min_score": 75, "tier_2_min_score": 50 },
    "target_industries": ["Telecommunications", "Customer Service"],
    "target_employee_ranges": [[51, 200], [201, 500], [501, 1000]],
    "target_funding_stages": ["Series A", "Series B", "Series C"],
    "target_geos": ["United States"]
  },

  "watchlist": {
    "enabled": true,
    "personas_per_company": 3,
    "person_filters": {
      "person_titles": ["VP of Operations", "Head of Customer Service"],
      "person_seniority": ["vp", "director", "c_suite"]
    },
    "tiers_to_watch": [1, 2]
  },

  "mode": "standard",
  "max_pages": 50
}

Approval Gate

CRITICAL: Never export results without explicit user approval.

Required flow:

  1. Search Apollo for a small sample first (~100 companies)
  2. Score them and present: tier distribution, example Tier 1/2 companies, scoring sanity check
  3. Get explicit user approval before running the full build
  4. Only then run the full search + score + export

What ships with it

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
